Hair Transplant
Restore Your Hair, Boost Confidence
Many people experience hair loss at some point in their lives due to hormonal changes, heredity, stress or certain disorders. This hair loss in the crown and mid-scalp region of the head can negatively affect the self-confidence of the individual. However, hair transplantation, if performed correctly and successfully at this point, helps to achieve the desired appearance within a few months. In this informative article, we will explain the hair transplantation process in detail.
What is a hair transplant? Who can prefer?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure performed on individuals with baldness or hair loss problems. This procedure is essentially the transfer of healthy and strong follicles from the nape or side of the head to the thinning part. Hair transplants can be preferred by people who are not completely bald, who have male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness, who have hair loss in a certain region of the head as a result of injury, or who have had hair transplants before.

Preparation before hair transplant surgery
To undergo a hair transplant, you should first search for reliable and expert surgeons and teams in the field of hair transplant where you can achieve a successful result after the procedure. Although hair transplant is an easier and risk-free procedure compared to other operations, it is very important to find the right team because it requires a surgical intervention. The surgeon and medical team that you choose taking into account your budget and expectations will decide whether you are a suitable candidate for hair transplantation after a detailed hair examination. Protecting your skin from sunlight and stopping smoking and alcohol consumption a week before the operation day will increase the success of the operation. You can also share information about the medicines and supplements you are currently using with your surgeon and learn what you need to discontinue before the surgery.

How is hair transplant performed?
The operation is performed under local anesthesia or sedation and is usually completed in one session. However, additional sessions may be required depending on the width of the area where the hair will be transplanted. Hair transplant methods vary according to several factors such as the number of follicles and recovery time of the candidates who want to undergo this procedure. Commonly applied hair transplant methods include the following:
FUT Technique
In the FUT technique, which is one of the oldest hair transplant methods, the hair follicles in the nape area are cut and removed together with the tissue underneath. The removed tissue is divided into pieces to contain 1 to 4 pieces of hair follicles. These pieces are inserted into the points opened with incisions in the area to be transplanted. The part where the hair follicles are removed together with the skin layer is closed by suturing. Since the hair follicles are taken and transplanted in bulk, the process duration is short. However, since the roots are cut together with the tissue, the healing process after the procedure is relatively longer than other methods and a scar remains in the incision area.
FUE Technique
In this method, unlike the FUT technique, donor hair follicles are collected one by one. The follicles are kept in a cold area in a special solution and transplanted to the area where hair transplantation will be performed. Since the process of collecting and transplanting hair follicles is not performed separately for each follicle, the operation time is longer compared to the FUE technique. However, since no incision is made during the operation, recovery takes a shorter time. In the FUE technique, hair follicles are collected one by one manually by human hands, but there is also a computerized version. This technique is known as robotic hair transplant.
DHI Technique
This method is applied after the hair follicles are removed by applying the FUE technique, and the process of placing the follicles is performed using a special pen. The advantage of the DHI technique is that no separate procedure is applied to open the canal where the roots will be placed. The canal is opened with a pen and the root is transplanted immediately.
Recovery after hair transplant surgery
When the surgery is over, the area where the procedure was performed is wrapped with a bandage. You can remove the bandage and take a shower 1-2 days after the procedure. During the first week, you may feel ready to go to work and do light exercises such as walking. If you have been stitched, you can have your stitches removed after 2 weeks and start more active and moderate-paced exercises. Within the first month, your transplanted hair will fall out and new roots will be ready to grow. After completing 1 year, the final outcome will be visible.
